How sweet! Personally, the only way that I can eat tomatoes are in stew or soup, but my husband loves tomatoes! I love your darling poem Sara <3

Why, thank you, Bj, for the nice comments. I can eat fresh sliced tomato, or a cherry tomato just as is, but not very many at one time. I like them in soups, stews, sauces, etc. Amazing in the differences in people of the world. The tomato was once called the love apple, and it has nutrients or enzymes or antioxidants that help improve circulation, etc. so maybe it is the love apple. Sara K

Thank you, Paula. I think a large number of people enjoy tomatoes in so many ways, but probably a huge number of those people have no idea where the sauces, condiments, or tomato slices on the hamburger come from. Sara K

Anne-Lise, thank you for the uplifting review of my work. I don't go to the garden much anymore, but I just shelled about 1/4 of a bushel of black-eyed peas from the garden which I will cook tomorrow. My husband does most of the gardening now. Sara K
